Last period I had arrived as normal and lasted only one day. Then went. A couple of weeks later, I started bleeding again, this time thick mucus - y, dark blood, and it went on for about 10 days. (But there wasn't very much of it, I only wore a panty liner which was perfectly adequate.) I think it's stopped today.
It occurred to me that maybe I'd left a tampon in, so I did feel thoroughly, but nothing, although my fanny felt very spongy and swollen. It's not a spontaneous abortion as I haven't had sex. I went to the doctor and he said as I'm 41, it's probably the beginning of the menopause and I should just go away and not worry about it.
It had occurred to me that it might be the first sympom of menopause, but my only problem is that if it isn't and it could be something else, shouldn't that be investigated? Or am I being hysterical and there really is nothing else this could be?
I'd really appreciate any advice.
